Commuters in Beijing saved the life of a man who fell onto the train tracks by alerting the driver in time. At 8:58pm at Sihui Metro Station a middle-aged man fell headlong onto the tracks just as the train started to arrive. Passengers on the platform frantically signalled the driver and shouted for him to stop. The power was then cut and the unconscious man recovered from the tracks.Picture: HAP/Quirky China News / Rex Features
